Cash incentives for HBV vaccination in injecting drug users
Small financial incentives can dramatically increase the likelihood of people who inject drugs completing a course of hepatitis B virus (HPV) vaccination, according to research published in an
Article. Researchers in the UK found that people undergoing treatment for heroin addiction who received a maximum total of £30 supermarket vouchers
in equal or graduated instalments in return for full compliance with a regimen of three HBV vaccine injections were at least 12 times as likely to complete the course within 28 days compared to those not receiving a financial incentive.
